Learn a Little:
How we start our day has a big influence on how we feel
and perform for that day. Recent research shows that
just 3 minutes of “negative” news in the morning
leaves people feeling less resourceful all day.
The morning sets the feeling tone of the day.

Curious?
Curiosity is also the entry point to many of life’s
greatest sources of meaning.
Big Potential – Shawn Achor
2018 Crown Publishing
In this book, Achor, author of The Happiness Advantage, continues to share his research and observations in an effort to help us achieve our greatest potential.
You, as a reader, will appreciate Anchor’s most recent research finding—namely that consuming negative news in the morning can ruin your entire day. “…individuals who watched just three minutes of negative news in the morning were 27 percent more likely to report their day as unhappy six to eight hours later—it was like taking a poison pill each morning…” (page 153)
Later in the book, Achor shares five strategies to help us defend against negative influences.
If you are curious about curiosity this book is for you.
